if you want to weld it we have to use a tent filled with gas at work if not you can break it with your hands very easy.

your best off useing stainless exhaust tube thats designed for exhausts. standard stainless is no good for exhausts but it would do the job. and
titanium is not cheap pmsl. but good on you if you get it done.

You would need a TIG welder, lots of time and patience, and an infinite supply of argon.
Ten minutes welding usually needs an hours preparation.

Lord 907 of the Weldy stuff. Yes.
But what about Lord Trev of the Shinny stuff.
Surely we cant have TWO lords of the shinny stuff. I mean that would be a bit like having 2 kings of england.
Oh and I havn't forgotten about you your worshipfull highness Earl Kev of the weldy stuff.
Blessed are those that know the three wise men of metal shaping & welding.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I think inconel or "unaffordium" as most know it, would be the better choice if spending this sort of money on a system
if titainium would be better, F1 would have Titanium headers dont you think? they spend the extra dollar to get inconel must be a good reason behind
that.

A foundry I worked at used to cast turbine rotors in titanium. When hot it absorbs nitrogen from the atmosphere and becomes very brittle so has to be
shielded till it cools.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Probably due to very high exhaust gas temperatures in F1 engines? Probably not relevent for the OP unless he has a contact in McLaren for Ferrari

If I may, I'd like to correct a couple of things on this thread.
It's not Lord Trev
Trev is GOD, and I am merely his disciple.

yea you can weld inconel much easier, no full enclosed shield required.
never knew it was that pricey, should have asked more than 200 quid for the inconel up and over XE 16v system that I sold to an autograsser!!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
